Griddal turns one photo into content that looks right the moment you post it. Make seamless carousels. Start with one wide canvas, add your photos, then drag, pinch and rotate them across the slide seams so the swipe flows as one continuous image. Choose 2 to 10 slides in 4:5, 3:4 or 1:1. Edge snapping keeps everything aligned, and a built-in crop tool fine-tunes each frame. Export that lines up. Every slide saves at 1080 px wide, drawn from your full-resolution photos so the seams match on the feed. Preview the swipe before you export, then Save All to Photos with slide 1 first in your Recents, or share straight away. Split a photo into a profile grid. Turn one image into a clean grid, from 3x1 up to 3x5 tiles, in 3:4 (the current profile grid shape) or 1:1. Older square splitters leave you cropped on a modern profile. Griddal does not. Post in the right order. Tiles are numbered in posting order, starting bottom right. Tap a tile to share it, mark it posted as you go, and resume later without losing your place. Private by design. Griddal works offline with no account and no sign-up. Your projects stay on your device. No ads, no tracking, no watermark on your exports. Built to be fast and crisp, not another slow template gallery. Instagram and IG are trademarks of Instagram
